Hm. You'd think that with the requirement to justify the revenue provided by syndication and the access to information he's gotten by way of fifteen years' experience in cranking out fodder for conservatives, Tinsley could come up with something on-point every day.

He obviously frequents Townhall.com, an aggregating site for right-wing news and opinion. He couldn't get something from that as opposed to a nonspecific complaint about TV?

Hm. If Tinsley twits you Obama-fellating "Liberal" fascisti so painfully, I wonder what you might think of Chris Muir's Web comic Day by Day?

Hm. Chris Muir is well established as a complete gibbering idiot. We've discussed his "work" before here, but his trollery---being even more substance-free than Batshit's (or yours, Tuc-Tuc)---doesn't hold anyone's interest for very long.

OK, so what kind of TV does Mallard point his tiny duck nuggets at every day? I thought Tinshley had converted it to a flat-panel recently, because even he noticed that people watch those instead of giant honking tube TVs nowadays, but now he's claiming that horrible, mutant contraption is 18 years old. Is that really a tube TV, just even more ineptly drawn than usual?

It's amazing how someone who repeats himself so damn often can be so wildly inconsistent. Also incontinent, but that's the Miller High Life's fault, right Bruce?

Thanks for NOTHING, Tucci, for reminding me that "Day Bidet" is a thing that exists.

I see that Chris M. Urine has progressed to having his female characters appear entirely nude on occasion, rather than just perpetually scantily-clad. I guess that makes the wordy nonsense spewing from their word-balloons more credible, somehow?

Wow, just checked out "day by day", I think it's hilarious how right-wing lunatics attempt to insulate themselves from charges of racism by pre-emptively accusing the other side of playing the "race card". My impression of "day by day"? Other than being a Rorschach Test of racism for Teabagging idiots it made no sense whatsoever.

Douchie, it's not really a problem for me that "Day by Day" has scantily clad women, but if I don't have to traffic a racist, idiotic, unfunny, right-wing "comic" to see scantily clad women then I won't.

The concept behind today's Mallard Fillmore is stupid because, as DaveyK noted, nervous breakdowns are not related to age, and as Steve-O suggested, it's badly drawn because the image directly contradicts the text, but I saw that at least it's not a hateful screed. That's progress!

Meanwhile, the impotently raging @Tucci wrote:"...Obama-fellating..."

... in an obvious homoerotic self-revelation.

Not that there's anything WRONG with @Tucci's desire to orally pleasure a powerful black man. This is America and that's not criminal anymore.

As for Chris Muir, I congratulate his decision to suggest that Sarah Palin is somehow relevant, something no intelligent person would consider for a moment since she hasn't even bothered to register for the Florida primary. There are fools, and then there are Sarah Palin fans; the latter exist to make the former feel not as stupid.

I wouldn't mind 'girl art' in Day by Day if it was better done. To quote someone else, "Most males would hesitate to admit they've never seen a woman naked, but this guy shouts it to the world in every drawing."

Kip W makes a good observation about Chris Muir's recent cartooning style, which is bothersomely cluttered. I'd credit my own difficulties to aging eyes but for the fact that I can remember back a few years ago - when Day By Day was a quasi-Dilbert strip about the principal characters - not as yet romantically paired-off - interacting chiefly in their corporate workplace.

There was no "nekkid broad" content and the drawing style was pretty much uncluttered.

Might could be that Muir "discontinued service to newspapers" and went over to Web-only publication so he could indulge in the presentation of "scantily clad women" and build his business model on revenue from banner advertising, direct reader contributions, and the marketing of products related to the strip's branding.

I don't know the extent to which Muir has ever "seen a woman naked," but he seems to be pleasing enough people to keep himself in business without having to subject his output to "family newspaper" type censorship.

Tuc-Tuc's broken-record argument today seems to be "if it doesn't go away, it must be successful, and if it's successful it must be right."

Of course, Tuc-Tuc lives in a delusional fantasy in which Chris Muir, Bruce Tinsley, and Tuc-Tuc himself "enrage" us with their persistent displays of smug stupidity parading as "the real" intelligence, so grain of salt and all that.
